Spector moved out of their old dingy Woodstock, NY workshop mid-COVID pandemic so no one got to see the glorious new USA Custom Shop Factory - UNTIL NOW! Tom and I took a quick day trip to get the deets on the new shop and pick some woods for new custom builds for our shop.

Check out our current Spector inventory here: ish.guitars/collections/spector

We will be visiting the Spector USA Custom Shop VERY often from here on out as Ish Guitars is only a few hours away in Syracuse, NY and custom builds are literally my favorite thing ever. If you are interested in a build, or just have any questions about the process, please reach out and I'd love to help!

    Dude is way to comfortable. Touching EVERYTHING! Including instruments in final Assembly! Constantly talking over the shop manager. He must be a very patient man. Good on him. What an amazing factory. A++

    The tour may have been nice if you had let the representative guide the tour. You did most of the talking. I wish this had been more about Spector and less about you sharing what you learned somewhere else about how someone else does things.

    Anyone else cringe when he left the oily fingerprint on the unvarnished headstock at 21:30?

    Just bought the Spector NS Dimension 5 and am enamered with it's beauty and attention to every detail especially how all the carves are done and the quality in everything including hardware choice. Obviously mine was Crafted in Korea, but the direction was from Spector in America. So awesome to see what the American factory does to direct the production of these basses!

    Hi guys, What a fantastic tour . Beautiful facility. I am sure that Stewart Spector is very happy that the legacy of one of the finest basses ever produced will carry on the great tradition of quality & workmanship that is synonymous

    I have that same shirt (the blue one you're wearing in the car, not that tie-dye one). Not just that, I just bought a Spector from you recently. So here's a Keanu-like "Woaaaaaaah".
  • Damn 1.77k subs? Loooool im here in the infant days of this channel for sure. Yall are gonna be huge. High quality content and good personalities. See yall at a couple hundred K subs in 2 years. Lmao

    Great video. Love that it's a New York State product and a great one at that. The new shop looks awesome. Maybe you can show progress vids of some of the builds. One of these days we'll be building one for me ! Any word on a USA bolt on with a full contoured body like the eurobolts?
  • @olivierjacquet
    I'm so glad this video exists! I was so curious about Spector's workshop. It's really cool to put faces on the making of the basses. Literally everything is interesting in this tour! I only own a korean Legend but it's already such a beast! I've also tried a bunch of other models and to me, the brand have mastered the bass in every aspects! I only hope I'll get a USA made bass someday. Thanks to you guys, and let me call the shop manager "Willy Wonka" because I felt like Charlie in the chocolate factory for 49:48 minutes!

    Always liked Nikki sixxs spectorbird, the tobacco burst..just found out recently they released a euro Thunderbird bass in tobacco,black and blue..a total of 50 were made..I missed out! Waiting for one to pop up for sale (tobacco) to me spectors are the best basses made!
  • @Trnquill
    This is the third or fourth Spector Custom Shop video I watch and ALL of them suck on sound! :D Does Spector have factory wide ban on lavelier microphones or what's the deal? :P
  • @XCLent0
    This is amazing. Question: The wood that gets cut, the wood shavings and all the saw dust, etc....what is done with it? Is it all recycled or what?
  • The curved body on a Parker Fly is much greater than the curve on the Spector, plus it is less than half the thickness.
  • @japhy4529
    Spector guy: "The H-A-Z preamp..." :D Will is obviously VERY knowledgeable. It's just a little funny that he doesn't know that it's pronounced "HAZ", not spelled out.
  • Wow way too much talking. So annoying!! Maybe drink a little less coffee before doing these road trips dude. Spector factory tours are always great but had to mute the sound for obvious reasons.🙄
